If you look historically then the market is where it was at the end of October. It's hardly a massive crash.

Yet.

Also, market responses have a significant lag behind regime change. It's perfectly reasonable for a boom to continue after a president leaves power, then to fade away as the new policy directions become reality and start to influence market behaviour.

You'd pretty much expect any boom from Obamas policies to have continues into trumps first year or so. Although Obama didn't do a whole lot except stop the banks from massively over leveraging; basically he stopped them cannabalising themselves and the market recovered after a huge crash as expected.

Trumps' current policies need more time to play themselves out. Mostly though the stock market will be as healthy as the perception of good performance for safe havens. I'm not sure how much trump can influence that unless he drastically changed pension laws or something.

Obongo was so good even a year after he left, America is still thriving!

No wait I thought markets were growing because the crisis is over?

Pick one

No, that's just the Republicans lying to you.

I have this moral and physical shadow of a man blocked for a reason. I cannot possibly fathom how you think he not only has something worthwhile to add but is also worth quoting.

Understanding the lowest common denominator is something that the democrats fail at regularly.

Yeah, but what a shadow. Theres value in that shadow you know, it could blot out the sun, stop forest fires, start a new ice age. I think there's a lot you are missing here. In the most literal sense ofc.

People are literally dying, every day, primarily in our poorest communities around the country. And they're pushing out the people who actually know what the fuck they're doing and replacing them with "JUST SAY NO" and calls for a fucking wall, as if the origin of this shit isn't domestic.
